Today is the day that in
Milan everybody – and I literally mean everybody and the city becomes a “ghost
city” for the entire month of August – goes in vacation, as it is the first
weekend bridging into August. All my friends back in Milan are ready to leave
for the beautiful beaches in Italy, or are already travelling to do so.

So, thinking about vacation
time and tanning on the beach, I am thinking also about beachwear!

And in Milan everybody LOVES
Calzedonia’s swimwear – which is unfortunately not available in the US. I have
been a dedicated and loyal fan of their collections since they opened in 1986
in Italy and season after season they have become the most trendy, fashionable
and successful Italian brand for hosiery and beachwear. So as I am not in
Milan, I have missed my yearly Calzedonia’s beachwear shopping, but my mother
was so nice to send me one J

Calzedonia’s beachwear for
Summer 2012 is all about bright colors! My favorite collection is the one
called “Raffy”, simple styles and young lines for an easy to wear bikinis to
comfortably fit the body. Patterns are declined into three different models:
push-up, bandeau (my all time favorite!) or triangle tops. And you can choose
whatever color you prefer, as each pattern is offered in every color of the
season. Raffy collection is a timeless trend for all women, with different body
types, as you can mix and match different styles for top and bottoms and
different sizes as well.

Below some examples of the
swimwear collection for this Summer. It is not easy to find a definite one
trend for the swimwear this summer, the brand likes to present various offers
from bandeau bikinis (the most popular trend and I would say also the most
comfortable for tanning), triangle bikinis, to more edgy paillettes bikinis.
What do you think?

Until June 30, all types of swimwear for men, women and children, regardless of brand - and not necessarily purchased from Calzedonia - would be revived in the form of insulating material for buildings, share rubbery carpets, upholstery. But even stuffing of toys, bags or rags for cleaning.

Green initiative, among many others that occupy the front pages of newspapers in this period, which also brings an economic advantage to those who embrace it: for every old lady costume, whole or bikini, which will be returned, there will be a discount 5 euros on the purchase of a new bikini. An interesting idea without any doubt.
